CHICAGO, March 2l.-Maxwell Ernest
Virgo, a young Englishman 30 years OF
age, caused an exciting scene in the office
Of A. r. Hemingway, Secretary OF the
Young Mems Christian Association, yes
terdaY afternoon. He was addicted to
gambling, and in occasional fits of re-
morse he has come to the rooms OF the as
sociation for moral encouragement, and
in this way has become we'll known there.
He came yesterday rather more than
usually broken down, and was invited
into the private office OF the Secretary.
As soon as the door was closed he showed
that he was violently insane. He drew
fron mis- pocket a small bottle Of muriatic
acid, which he announced his intention to
swallow, vociterously bidding farewell to
the world.
AFIGHT FOR LIFE.
Secretary Hemingway endeavored to
take the bottle from Virgo wnen the lat
ter endeavored TO push Mr.. Hemlng-
way through a window. He would have
succeeded II help had not arrived prompt
ly. The window was broken out. The
bottle of acid was knocked from Virgo's
hand before he could swallow its con-
tents, although he got some OF IL in mis-
mouth and throat and IS badly burned
about the head and face. IL took two
stalwart policemen and two members of
the association to get Virgo into an am
bulance and TO a hospital. The physi-
clans there say Virgo Is in a bad way but
NAV recover. He Is member OF a we'll
to-do English family.

The Western Settlers Chosen
Specific

With every advance of emigration into
the far West, a new demand is created for
Hostettef's Stomach Bitters. Newly peopicd
regions are frequently less salabrieus than
Older settled localities, on account of the
miasma which rises'from recently cleared
land, particularly along the banks of rivers
that are subject to freshets. The agricul-
turatoE mining emigrant soon learns, when
he does not already know, that the Bitters
afford the only sure protection against ma
lariaz. and those disorders of the stomach,
liver and bowels to which climate changes,
exposure, and unaccustomed or unhealthy
water or diet subject him: Consequently,
he places an;estimate upon this great house
hold specihc and preventive commensurate
with its intrinstic merits, and is careful to
keep on hand restorative and promoter of
health SO implicitly to be relied upon in time
of need. .- .--.-.-- .-..

THE CRADLE OF OUR RACE.
Impossibility of Locating 1t with Any

Impossibility of Locating 1t with Any
DSgree of Certainty.
Can we not discover the cradle of
our race? say decidedly we can not.
We may guess. with more or less prob
ability, but if our guesscs are to be
submitted to tests of mathematical GER
tainty not one of them will stand the
test. This ought to be understood,
and is, in fact understood among
most scholars. Many opinions held
with regard to periods of history which
are beyond the reach of historical evil
dence can never be more than possible
or plausible. To demand for them a
different character does not show any
critical sagacity. but rather igno-
rance of the limits of our knowl-
edge. Thus. when we see the Celts
driven to the western parts of Europe,
pushed forward by Teutonic tribes,
and these again pressed hard by Sla-
vonic neighbors. We naturally conclude
that the Celts were the first to arrive
in Europe. the Germans the second,
the S!avs the third. But there is no
mathematical certainty for this 1t is
nothing but the result of historical
combination. and can never be more.
Again, if we see Hellenic civilization
extending from Asia Minor to Greece,
and from Greece to Italy. and if we
find the Italians pressed by successive
inroads from the north. we are inclined
here to admit progress of Aryan
speech and thought from the east to
the west and from the north to the

she has steadily eaten her way around
the shop. munching ten-cent tarts and
ifteen-cent eclaires. It would never
do to let her loose in the wine cellars,
as the trusting Dublin restaurant-keep-
ers do with their customers. There
are many places in honest old Dublin
where you take your glass and 60 by
yourself to the moldy old cobwebbed
cellar. surrounded by casks on whose
aged head you can read the legend of
their vintage. You make your selec-
ton. help yourself, go back to the SIM
pie landlord in the little tap-room
above stairs, tell him what you have
drank. have settlement and go your
way. Our New York young lady
would spend an afternoon sampling,
coming up plum-full of Lachryma
Christi. and tender the deluded boni-
face the price of one glass of cider.
A dress-maker was telling of her
troubles. A wealthy lady was shown
into the parlor, the other day, and left
for few minutes to herself. Just be-
fore this visit another customer had
bought some rare lace to use in the
manufacture of ball-dress. This was
carelessly thrown into the upper draw
er of a cabinet When, q few minutes
later. it was brought to the work
room, the forewoman sent word that
the quantity was insufficient for the
desi ign, and the owner was notified.
The lady came promptly. She had
measured the lace herself. bought it
herself. and if there were five yards TO
the bad. it had been taken in the house.
But that was impossible urged the
dress-maker. as no one had been in
the room but Mrs. -, and not one
of the employees. "Say no MORE"
laughed the owner of the lace. I'VE
know where the lace is, if Mrs -
has been in its ncighborhood." The
poor dress-msker had her eyes opened
to many a petty loss since the klepto-
maniac had favored her with her GUS
tom. but she had good deal of nerve.
She took the remnant of lace and rode
in Fifth avenue stage to fiftieth street.
She was admitted to the august pres
ence, and she said she thought-in fact
she knew five yards of lace belong
ing to Mrs. Smith had been inadver-
tently wrapped up with TIE piece of
Mrs. - dress; that Mrs. - had
carried it away to have hat made
from, because Mathilda, her purchase
clerk, had been in the room of the
parlor and had seen Mrs. gather
up the pieces of silk and the lace, of
course, wholly by mistake. So the
thief. protesting establishment at her
carelessness, went off and found that
such an accident had really occurred,
handed over the lace, and there the
matter ended.-N Y. Cor. Indianapolis
